character II seemed g. Ire President "K-
Pe !.eat Sc! !Ie general interest al reform
not to break with his party and thus in
vte efforts To repeal the law, or to battle
its operation, or to obstruct the general
course of the administration, but to COM
promise with power that he did not
feel strong enough to overthrow. This
is view which, like every view of com
promise. may be honestly held. 1t would
not necessarily imply conscious abandon
meut OF reform because such yielding
might be sincerely regarded as a neces
sary expedient at that particular point.
1t is Il view which we are bound in JUS
tice plainly to state. 1t seems to us I'M
deniable, however that the system of APP
pointments i'll Maryland, whatever the
motive, is not very different from what
it would have been under an administra-
ton which regarded the public service as
party spoIs.
But certain individual appointments in
Mary land, and also in some other states
especially in Missouri and Indiana, must
be more strongly condemned. However
evident to us may be the impolicy and
the wrong of rewarding party service or
of seeking to promote party interests by
the use of the public patronZe, we are
aware that the wrong is not equally clear
to all good citizens' But no good citizen,
whatever his views of that question may
be, can doubt that great injury is done
to the national character and to the pub
lie service by committing trusts to men
of scand .lous life. or of proved dishon
eSty. In some instances in Maryland and
lsewherelt is plain that persons havebeen
selected for public employment whose
general reputation would have excluded
them from the service of any private
citizen. Into the Judgment of motives we
cannot enter. But whether this untoward
result were due to deliberate misinfor-
nation, to indifference to incredulity OF
the evidence submitted by persons OF the
highest character aud often i'll party sym
patty with those whose appointment
| they opposed. or to whatever cause. it is
most deplorable. But whatever censure
i'll such cases may be justly awarded to
| the administration, it must not be forgot
| ten that IN the worst case of ALL that of
Morris A. Thomas in Maryland, the Sen
ate which was politically opposed to the
executive, with all the charges and evil
dence laid before it, and urgently pressed
| upon its attention, confirmed the noml
| nation.

as | have said is intended only as sugues-
tive aud not i'll any sense as treatise
upon so important subject, | submit
for your consideration II few reflections
witch | purpose merely as incentives to
public discussion. IL is apparent from
the few comparisons of figures which |
have submitted to you, that one class of
property is bearing the great burden of
taxation. and that it falls upon those who
are the least able to bear it. In the dis
tribution of this burden, the aim of Jus
tlce should be to apportion it, to every
person actual worth in real and personal
property. But in addition to the inc
quality OF burden which our present sys-
tenn imposes, its tendency is TO demoral
Ize and corrupr our people. 1t has been
truthfully sad by Prof. Ely, that the
spectacle of men OF large means escaping
taxation by resort to devices easily at
their command, causes bitterness and
dis satisfaction, on the part of the masses
and leads others to justify themselves IN
their attempts to escape legitimate tax
alton. The trouble lies as we have seen
in the inadequate assessment of personal
property, Ii doesn't pay its proper pro
portion of taxation. Less than one-half
of it is actually assessed and the other
halt is but half assessed. The o yneTs
of money naturally seek to invest il. in
sucn kinds of property as will net them
the best returns, and the tendency is
away from land Investments because its
taxation is certain, and its net return the
least. With these Inducements to mort
gage investments. and other sureties, of
an incoppreal character, with the rapid
drift of capital INTO fewer hands, it is ap-
parent that the basis Of tangible properly
for assessment and taxation must rapidly
diminish, at the expense of the land
owner.
Now if the fifty or sixty per cent. of
personal property winch csc apes taxation
under the most favorable circumstances
represented uniform deduction from
the value of all property of such charac-
ter liable to assessment as is the case
when perc ntage of the value of real
estate is uniformly taken as the standard
of valuation. there would be an equality
of assessment of any one man in this re-
spect as compared with every other But
such unfortunately is not, and never can
be the case, iuasmuch as it is known to
every one who has given the slightest at
teutiOn to the subject, that that portion
OF personal property which always es
capes taxation is the one which is the
best able to bear it-as capital not per-

The Indignation OF the republican clubs at the

guished from Its substance, and the suggestion Of
a breach q constitutional duty In emitting the
rehash Of departmental reports have very little

form OF message at the beginning Of session, on
indeed TO any message whatever, then or at any
other time. AL that the Constitution requires Is

Congress Information OF the state OF the Union

~Reductton OF the surplus" being the fashion
able wstehword just now, IL would not be surpris-
ing 10 learn OF its application 10 other subjects
than q plethoFic federal treasury. The Western
Union Telegraph Company, a corporation deriving
It's valuable franchises from the people at q nomt
nal cost or no cost whatever, has lately gobbled
up it most dangerous competitor and now reports
a surplus OF nearly nine million dollars, reduced
by It's latest dividend TO seven million six hundred
and odd thousands. This Improvement In CON-
pany which q year ago was paying Its dividends 10
scrip indicates that II Is getting rich. BY logical
process OF reasoning. We should have q night tc
expect division OF profits, On one basis or an
other, with the people who have givenit the means
OF making It's fortune. But no such disposition
has manifested itself thus far. On the contrary,
rates for the Transmission OF messages have stiY-
ened steadily instead Of weakening ever since the
Consolidation took place.
The existence Of such o state Of things win not
tend 20 make the members Of either house OF Con-
gress feel more lenient toward this company when
the possaltelegraph scheme comes up for discussion
An overlooking federal treasury Is the incentive
for an attack upon the system Of taxation which
makes such overflow possible; the theory being
that the governments has no right to take from the
people any more money In taxation than It needs
Tor its support IL IL more than likely that the
ag1taters for postal telegraph viii move
on the same lines, arguing that the special priv.
leges enjoyed BY the great telegraphic monopoly
were granted, not for its own benefit bu,
for the peoples; that the accumulation OF a sur.
plus exceeding what Is required for a fair return
20 the shareholders for the use OF their money was
not contemplated; and that, as soon as the com.
pany holds In Its golfers a handsome balance be-
yond It's legitimate needs, the public ought to get
the benent Of It's prosperity In the form Of q re-
duction Of tolls. II private corporation win not
recognize It's obligation In the premises there Is
always the recourse OF starting government op-

terms IL would simply wipe It out OF existence;
